Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces
- 3/4 cup milk (I used 1%)
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 2/3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided use
- 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 2 tablespoons of salt. Place the potatoes in the pot and boil for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Drain the potatoes, then place them back in the pot.
- Add to the pot the milk, butter, sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or electric mixer. Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the potatoes into a 9 inch square pan or 2 quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Top with remaining 2/3 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Cover the pan with foil and place into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and add the bacon; bake, uncovered for an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and potatoes are heated through.
- Sprinkle the chives and parsley over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra smooth potatoes, use a potato ricer to smash the potatoes before you add them back to the pot. Never use a food processor to make mashed potatoes, as they will turn gummy.
- I recommend using freshly shredded cheddar cheese. The bagged kind at the grocery store is often coated with preservatives and anti caking agents and does not melt as well.
- This casserole can be prepared up to one day before you plan to serve it.
